Fall Into Reading Challenge



Call me crazy...but I'm signing up for another reading challenge. This one is the
Fall Into Reading Challenge hosted by A Chick Who Reads. To participate click on the challenge link and sign yourself up for some fall fun! I'm still thinking on a few of mine--will fill them in later.

(all three volumes with commentary add up to WAY over 500 pages...this could also have gone under "the out of my comfort zone" category)
